However little is known about the progression of RCD during conservative management. This study aimed to identify the progression of RCD using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: This study was conducted between 2013 and 2015; 48 patients who underwent MRI after at least one year of conservative treatment for RCD were enrolled for follow-up analysis. Rotator cuff tear (RCT) and retraction were measured using an MRI. Tear progression was defined as an increase of 3 mm or more in tear size or retraction. Patients were divided into two groups: Small tear group and medium/large tear group. The progression of tears was analyzed. Results: RCT occurred in 25 cases and tendinosis occurred in 23 cases. The progression was observed in 12 cases (48.0%), and new tears were observed in 2 cases (8.7%). The pre-treatment tear size and retraction were 17.8 mm and 18.9 mm, respectively; while the post treatment tear size and amount of tendon retraction were 20.2 mm and 22.3 mm, respectively. The pre-treatment anteroposterior diameter of tears showed a positive correlation with the pre-treatment tendon retraction (r=0.830, p<0.001) but a negative correlation with the anteroposterior tear size progression (r=-0.473, p=0.017). Small size tears were found in 5 cases (20.0%) and medium/large size tears were found in 20 cases (80.0%). Among the 5 cases of small size tears, 4 cases (80.0%) showed progression, with a mean anteroposterior diameter of 7.4 mm and a mean amount of retraction of 5.9 mm. Among the 20 cases with medium/large size tears, 8 cases (40.0%) showed progression, with a mean anteroposterior diameter of 4.1 mm and a mean retraction of 6.8 mm. The frequency of tear progression was significantly different between the two groups (p<0.001). Conclusion: The need to use MRI monitoring during the conservative treatment of rotator cuff tears to evaluate the possibility of switching to surgical treatment. This study also suggests that an aggressive surgical treatment should be considered even for small tears, since the size of tear and retraction of tears may progress similarly regardless of the size of tear.

39 A Follow-Up Study of Rotator Cuff Tear Using MRI 우보존적치료와수술적치료의임상적결과는단기추시연구에서차이가없는것으로주장하고있다. 6-9) 이러한보존적치료는간편하고경제적이며수술에따른위험도없어초기치료로많이시행되고있다. 그러나보존적치료로인해발생하는위험은잘알려져있지않으며저평가되어있다. 보존적치료로회전근개파열의복구를기대할수없으며회전근개의파열은시간이경과함에따라크기가증가하고근위축이심해지는것으로알려져있다. 2,10,11) 또한보존적치료지속시회전근개의파열이진행하여봉합이불가능한상태로악화될수있으므로통증이있는회전근개파열에서파열의크기가크다면수술적치료를선호한다. 11-13) 하지만회전근개파열의크기와퇴축의진행시기를예측하거나보존적치료에서수술적치료로전환시기에대한연구는없는실정이며보존적치료에따른회전근개의해부학적변화에대한연구도적다. 따라서회전근개질환으로보존적치료를시행한환자군에서전과후의자기공명영상 (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) 을비교분석하였다. 회전근개파열의해부학적변화를파악하기위해회전근개파열의진행시기와정도를측정하고, 파열진행의예후인자를파악하여보존적치료에서수술적치료로전환시기결정또는적절한보존적치료에도움이되고자한다. 대상및방법 1. 연구대상 2013년 1월부터 2015년 12월까지견관절통증으로 MRI를촬영한 2,856예중회전근개에부분파열이나전층파열의소견이보이고최소 1년이상보존적치료를시행후자기공명영상을재촬영한 67예를선택하여후향적으로연구하였다. 외상과연관된회전근개파열 3예, 내원전수술을시행한 5예와후종인대골화증 2 예, 류마티스관절염 4예, 골관절염 5예는견관절통증과기능에영향을줄수있다고생각되어제외하였다. 최종적으로총 48예가대상군으로선정되었으며나이는평균 64.3세 ( 범위, 45-83세 ), 남성 43예, 여성 5예였고, 추시기간은평균 17.6개월 ( 범위, 12-37 개월 ) 이었다. 병원특성상남자대상자가우세하였다. 보존적치료로진통제와견봉하주사를시행하였다. 견봉하주사는환자가허리를펴고앉은자세에서보조자가팔을전하방으로부드럽게견인한후견봉의외측에서견봉하공간을목표로바늘을진입시켜약물이부드럽게진입하는지확인한다음약물을투입하였다. 동시에견관절스트레칭운동을통하여운동범위를확보하기위해노력하였다. 운동범위가정상측에비교하여 90% 이상회복된환자들을대상으로세라밴드를이용한회전근개강화운동을시행하였다. 주사는 3개월간격으로 2회까지시행하였다. 4개월이상보존적치료에반응하지않는환자는수술적치료로전환하였다. 3) 영상의학적평가는 3.0T MRI (MAGNETOM Skyra; Siemens Medical, Berlin, Germany) 을사용하여 3 mm 두께의축상단층면, 경사관상단층면, 경사시상단측면 T2 강조영상을얻었다. 건의퇴축은경사관상단층면에서대결절의내측구 (sulcus) 에서부터파열된건의외측끝을측정하였고층상분리가있는경우는아래층건을기준으로직선길이를측정하였다. 14,15) 건의전후파열은경사시상단층면에서회전근개부위에보이는연속된고신호강도의전후직선길이를측정하였다. 15) 경사시상단층면중견갑골몸통과견갑골극이 Y 모양을이루는 Y-view에서 occupation ratio를측정하였다. 16) Picture archiving communication system의 region of interest를이용하여숙련된정형외과전문의가극상와의안쪽경계를그려크기를얻었고극상근의크기를같은방법으로그려크기를얻은후극상근크기를극상와크기로나누어 occupation ratio를구하였다. MRI 촬영시 3 mm 두께로상을얻기때문에 3 mm 미만의차이는오류가있을것으로생각되어파열의크기와퇴축의진행을 3 mm 이상으로정의하였다. 10 mm 미만의소파열과 10 mm 이상의중 대파열의두군으로나누어파열의진행을분석하였으며파열의진행에따른나이, 성별, 과거력, 파열의크기를분석하였다. 2. 통계분석치료전과후의파열의전후크기와퇴축길이를 Wilcoxon singed ranks test를이용하여분석하였다. 치료전파열의전후크기, 퇴축길이, 파열의전후크기의진행, 퇴축의진행정도간의상관관계를분석하였다. 파열진행을따라두군으로나누어두군의평균을 Mann-Whitney 검정으로분석하였다. 소파열과중 대파열간의파열의빈도는 Fisher s exact 검정을사용하였다. p값이 0.05 이하일경우유의한차이가있다고정의하였으며 IBM SPSS Statistics ver. 21 (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA) 을이용하였다. 3.

41 A Follow-Up Study of Rotator Cuff Tear Using MRI 요할것으로생각된다. 7,19) 파열의크기와파열의진행은유의한음의상관관계를보였다. 소범위파열의경우중 대범위파열보다파열이더진행한다. 소파열군과중 대파열군의파열의진행의빈도분석에서유의하게소파열에서파열의진행이많았다. 그러므로소파열에서도회전근개의완전파열이있다면보존적치료도가능하지만젊고통증이지속되는환자라면적극적인치료가필요할것으로생각된다. 그러나 Tashjian 20) 이주장한작은파열에서느린파열의진행을보이므로초기에보존적치료를고려할수있다는결과와반대되기때문에추가적인연구가필요하다. 회전근개파열은퇴행성변화에의한것으로파열의시작이일부분에국한된것이아니고회전근개에전반적인변화로시작된다고생각된다. 극상근이나극하근의일부분에서전층파열이시작되면건의전범위에전층파열은쉽게일어나며새로운건의파열은비교적천천히일어날것이라는가정을한다면건의전후크기보다작은소파열은힘줄의크기까지는파열의진행이빠르고그이후의진행은새로운힘줄의파열이동반되어야하므로비교적천천히발생하는것으로추측할수있다. Dunn 등 21) 은통증의정도와회전근개파열의크기나퇴축과는관계가없다고주장하였다. 그렇다면통증이없는환자회전근개파열환자에서는수술의필요성에대한의문이든다. 그러나본연구에서 60% 의환자에서파열, 퇴축, 근위축이진행하였고기간은최소 12개월에서발생하였다. 또한파열이크거나퇴축이진행한회전근개의봉합은실패할가능성이증가하며, 작은파열보다임상적결과가불량하다. 22,23) 그리고 Lambers Heerspink 등 24) 은수술이보존적치료보다기능과통증개선의결과가우수하다고하였다. 따라서회전근개파열환자에서수술적치료는환자의증상도중요하지만작은소파열의경우도건의파열이진행하므로수술후재파열의가능성을고려하여치료방법을결정해야될것으로생각된다. Occupation ratio는회전근개의위축을평가하는방법중객관적이고수치로나타나며비교적객관적인장점이있어이방법을이용하여근위축을평가하였다. 25,26) 10% 이상의근위축을보인경우에근위축이진행하였다고정의하였을때근위축은파열된군에서 2예 (16.7%) 발생하였고파열의진행이없는군에서도 3예 (23.1%) 발생하여파열이진행되지않아도극상근의위축이발생하는것을알수있었다. 전층파열의경우근육이기능을하지못하는상태이기때문에파열의진행과는상관없이근의위축이발생한것으로생각된다. 이러한극상근위축은수술후재파열과관련이있으므로전층파열의경우에는근위축으로인한봉합수술의실패를줄이기위하여수술적치료가고려되어야한다. 27-29) 연구의제한점은후향적연구였고대상자의수가소파열의경우 5예밖에없었으므로통계적으로위음성이나왔을가능성이있다는것이다. MRI 재평가시기도통계적으로의미는없으나 30.5개월과 17.8개월로차이가있어추가적인연구가필요할것으로생각된다. 그러나회전근개파열환자에서보존적치료로만족할만한결과를얻기힘들고지속적인외래추시가어려운점을고려한다면의미있는연구라고생각된다. 또한병원특성상대상자대부분이남성으로이루어져있어인구전체를대표하지못하는한계점이있는반면회전근개질환은성별에따른차이가크지않아연구에큰영향은없을것으로생각되기는하지만여성에대한연구도추가적으로필요할것으로생각된다. 결론 회전근개파열은 48.0% 에서최소 1년에파열의크기가증가하고 20.0% 에서근위축이진행하며파열의크기가증가하지않는군에서도근위축이증가하므로회전근개파열의보존적치료시적어도 1년을주기로 MRI를추시하여수술적치료로의전환을고려해야할것으로생각된다. 또한소파열군에서도중 대파열과같이파열의크기와퇴축이진행하므로소파열의경우에도적극적인수술적치료를고려해야한다.
